Thoughts on these roles - I’m 28 now. Eventually thinking of starting a search fund or exiting into private equity in U.S:
1. VP IB MM U.S bank in Europe, US$460K TC, tier 1 city, decently sweaty
2. Associate growth equity in Europe, US$240k TC + carry, tier 2 city, good WLB, stronger team

If your goal is SF, go with the growth equity. It’ll teach you things and give you credibility versus being a banker only.

Goes with 2 for experience

1 for the dollar bills

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.

💲For those who DON'T think a six figure salary is possible:

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.
